Martin MAC700’s and Stage Electrics Get Show on the Tracks
Starlight Express’s latest tour opened in Torquay in February 2006 and is utilising the unique performance, quiet operation and versatility of the Martin MAC 700, 24 of which have been supplied by Stage Electrics.
Fully equipped with all the industry standard Martin features - a compact, light, fixture with power and optical precision - the MAC 700 also combines a full CMY colour mixing system supplemented with an 8-position colour wheel and a gobo animation system for dramatic projection effects. The MAC 700 contains head and base temperature sensors to ensure that fan speeds are kept to a minimum; bringing noise levels right down to suit theatre and TV studio applications.
Stage Electrics are supplying all the lighting for the tour, which also includes 33 MAC 600’s, 6 MAC 250 Wash, 12 Atomic strobes, 110 scrollers, 150 generic lanterns controlled by a Wholehog II with Hog PC backup. Lighting is by Howard Eaton.
Chris Patton, business development manager for Stage Electrics, said: “Starlight Express is a great show and we are delighted to be supplying equipment and services to the current tour. Everyone involved with the production is very impressed with the MAC700, both with its range of features and its extremely bright output. From a suppliers point of view the reliability of the fixture has meant extremely ‘trouble free motoring’ without a single unit being swapped out so far.”
